BepiColombo is scheduled to visit it in 2019.  MESSENGER is currently making flybys around this planet, which has a weak atmosphere that contains sodium and potassium.  Before MESSENGER, only Mariner 10 had visited it, and it may contain a liquid iron core that produces the second-strongest magnetic field within the asteroid belt.  A theory that said a planet named Vulcan lied within its orbit was discredited after general relativity was used to explain its precession at perihelion.  Its day and year are locked into a 2:3 ratio, and the largest crater on it is Caloris Basin.  For 10 points, name this smallest planet, the closest to the sun.
